Jikandia : The Timeless Land

Jikandia: The Timeless Land Review

Jikandia: The Timeless Land is an old school hack-and-slash dungeon crawler with too much time on its hands. A group of nine friends are warped into the dimension of Jikandia while on their way to school and must set about putting an end to the evil that is consuming the land. To do so, you'll dive into randomly generated dungeons, beat up monsters, defeat bosses, collect loot, and reform your scattered group of friends. Unfortunately, the action isn't exciting enough nor the rewards valuable enough to keep you interested for very long. Jikandia's dungeons are 2D platforming areas made up of many tiny rooms. Each room is populated with monsters and treasure chests and only takes a few seconds to run through. The key feature here is that you get to decide how long each dungeon takes to complete, from three to 30 minutes. The longer you hang out, the more valuable loot you'll find and the more money you'll earn to spend back in town. But since the gameplay is dull and repetitive, I never wanted to spend more than the minimum amount of time required. It would be a different story if you earned fabulous rewards for increasing the time limit, but Jikandia is pretty stingy.
